Details:

When writing mp campaigns, the author is pretty much constrained to use
persistent = yes and to hard code the keys id and save_id to match throughout
the campaign. 

However it appears that these are also the keys that the replay server uses to
list the names of the players. So while players of mp scenarios can easily
browse to find their replays, if you play an mp campaign like Modified World
Conquest or Rushed By Yetis you get only giberish for the player name like
"RBY_Side" or "MWCp".

Players have complained periodically for years but we've always told them we
can't do anything. I realized actually we should just make a feature request.
Can we change the replay server so that it uses "side.current_player" or
something like this? It's not an issue in the mp lobby so likely it should
just be made to match that.

Here's some examples:
